Sleep is good, mmmkay

Lack of sleep makes Amanda write long, rambling LJ posts that have no point.
Dear Library Patrons:
If your Hemingway reader reeks of pot when you return it, we're all going to laugh at you. Also, it makes me sneeze. In the future, please refrain from toking out until you are finished with your homework.
Thanks,
Your Librarian (who knows your name, SS#, and where you live)
And, because I can't stop thinking about it and have nothing better to do, a rhetorical writing ramble.
What's the history between Anubis and Odin? (In my universe only, though feel free to share the wacky adventures of your own psychopomps.) When Odin lay dying on the battlefield, ripped open by Fenrir, Anubis (betcha didn't know he attended Ragnarok, didja?) was willing to fuck with the very fabric of space/time itself to save him. Fucking with space/time is one of those things psychopomps Aren't Supposed To Do. Anubis could simply have taken Glad of War's powers and bestowed them on some other schmuck, at much less risk to himself and reality--so why save Odin? I'm almost entirely sure they weren't lovers, though the images that conjures are priceless. If there's a long history of drinking and carousing and being bosom companions, they haven't told me about it yet. A mentor-student relationship is right out. So what's up?
Yes, this is the kind of wacky stuff running through my brain at any given moment.

Date: 2004-11-23 12:47 am (UTC)...and in *my* universe, Anubis and Odin are the sort of gods that patronize the same neighborhood bar because it's the only place in the multiverse that knows how to make a proper pan-galactic gargle blaster. They sit in opposite corners and eye each other warily, neither deigning to speak of the billiards game - the one, mind you - that passed between them so very long ago.
